'A Christmas Prince'

The movie that some people apparently cannot stop watching, A Christmas Prince, is a holiday romance that honestly should air on Lifetime rather than the same streaming service that gifted the world Stranger Thingsand The Crown.

It stars Rose McIver of iZombie as Amber, a reporter who goes undercover to expose a royal scandal. Unsurprisingly, Amber and the future king, played by Ben Lamb, fall in love.

Users complained that the movie was full of old rom-com tropes (Elle listed down every tired plot points used in the movie). Some say that the movie is so bad, that it is actually good.

Netflix Is Watching

Most of the responses are positive and playful. It made a lot of users rather curious about why a number of people have streamed the holiday movie repeatedly.

However, the move also raised concerns about user data and how the company monitors users habits. That is why the streaming service immediately sent out a statement to its millions of subscribers across the globe.

Netflix also outed a subscriber from the U.K. who watched the 2007 animated movie, Bee Movie, a staggering 357 times in the past year. Another user watched Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pear 365 times in a row. There was even a subscriber that binged Shameless somewhere in Antarctica.

This month, the streaming service published A Year in Bingeing, a report on users' viewing habits in 2017 based on their own data and the result of some 60,000 surveys. The company shared that its 100 million subscribers across the globe watched 140 million hours worth of content collectively every day. Mexico set the record for most number of viewers streaming at the same time.

It also named its most popular programs and divided them into four categories based on how people chose to watch them. Here are the top programs per category:
